In this episode, Stefano Flavoni sits down with prolific Peruvian composer Jimmy López Bellido to discuss his compositional process, major successes, including his opera Bel Canto (premiered by Lyric Opera of Chicago) and oratorio Dreamers (commissioned by Cal Performances and premiered by Esa-Pekka Salonen and the Philharmonia Orchestra), as well as the elevation of diverse voices in the arts, and whether or not we are alone in the universe.
